4 Story of George Sand.

There was time when Liszt was the only man in the world who could withstand the charms of Mime Dudevant. better known as George Sand. One day Liszt said to her. Madame, St Anthony and are not the only men beyond your reach. can name scores who are impervious to your advances" T chal- lenge you to do it,T she cried, piqued at the affront tO her vanity. ~Where are they. and who are theyi- -The monks of La Grande Chartreuse, madame" replied Liszt. with smile, ''and now, may l beg light for my cigarf' George Sand, however, did not dis miss the subject from her mind so carelessly. What scandal it would cause, But what a triumph it would be to enter that famous monastery. within whose walls no woman had ever set foot. Forthwith she set about 1t She disguised herself as a man and went thither. The disguise was successful No one suspected her sex and she was freely ad mitted- Three days she spent there unde- tected
 On the fourth she met a monk whom she had known. 4 few years before he had been gay young nobleman. He had fallen a victim To her charms After a time she had cast him of for a new lover, and, driven al most to madness he had fled to La Grande Chartreuse and become monk She knew him the moment she met him and he knew her. and each recognized the others knowl- edge.

Filters Which Are Useless.

The Rhode Island Medical society has just listened to a paper by Dr. Swarts, of Provi- dence. in which he gives the results of a series of experiments on various devices for filter ing water at the mouth of the faucet These experiments were carefully made under the conditions usually presented in dwelling houses. His conclusions are wholly unfavor- able to any form of filter within his knOwl- edge. He reports that the best of them can only cleanse the water of possible microbes, or disease germs, for a few hours after their first application; that after this time it is inl- possible thoroughly 10 clean the filter, and II becomes a place of deposit and accumulation of the germs themselves, which are liable to propagate at the ordinary temperature of kitchens at a very rapid rate. Thus the filter is worse than none. He concludes that the only safety in the matter is 10 use that which is known to be pure, or if this cannot be known with certainty. to use only water that has boiled and cooled with pure ices, which Is very conservative and sound advice.-BoSton 1ranSrriut

A DEPLORABLE AFFAIR.
Two Men Killed and two Others Wounded
 in Fight Between Cattlemen.


 The tragedy enacted in Pleasant Val ley, on the 9th instant, m which John Payne and H. Blivin were killed and Thomas Tucker and R. M, Gillespie wounded ani Thomas Darlington es- capped with his clothing perforated by . bullet, was of such 6 vigorous nature as to alright even those accustomed to scenes of violence, It occurred at the ranch of George A. Newton. sixty-five miles north of Globe.
 The cause, If any, that culmin sted in this unwoutsd act is only known to those engaged in it. The participants who occupied the house. have not been seen, nor are we aware of their having been heard from siuce the tragic event, and therefore the community must pos sess itself In patience until those now regarded ss the attacking. of Newton party, give their version of the affray which now appears mysterious and with ou. e cause,
 The statement Rleaned from Tucker, one of the wounded men, who after being shot through the lungs, reached Al. Roses ranch, a distance of ab, ut nine miles, ID thirty-five or forty hours-is. in substance, as follows, and was related  to one who had 1t from Tucker himself: Ills Tucker's) party rode up to the fence enclosing Newton's house, and asked if they could get some dinner. James Tewksbury appeared and said. "No sir We do not kseps hotel here." Tucker then asked If Mir. Berknap was ir, and the reply was given. "No sir. he just rode of" Tucker said, "Well boys, we will go to Yosbargh's ranch and can get seme dinner there.

Sketch of a.rraxic Event In our Earlier Annals.
 Within the past fifteen years remark. able changes have been wrought in Ari-
 znns. Public and private improvements have kept pace with the increase of pop. ulstion; in other words, the Arizona of 1872 was very different from that of lo- day, Many of the incidents of the for mer date are as unfamiliar to a msiori- tT of our present population ss though they had tIsnspirsd in another planet Hence the following sketch from Hubert Howe Bsneroffs Popular Tribunals I, will prove of interes. to our patrons.
 One night in November. 1872, at Adsmsulle, Arizona. Colonel Kennedy was slsln by John Rogers. The body lsy yet unburied when Bob SwOope heard of lt. Bob was at Sanford at the time and being a warm personal friend of the Colonel, he was deeply moved on receipt of the intelligence. To have killed Rogers, even though he were a descendant of the martyr, would have afforded him some relief, but this be- ing imprsctlcsble, he took e drink. Still feeling badly he took smother drink, which opened the way for 6 third, and soon Bob was sorrovfully drunk.
 Il will goto that funeral if it kills me" said he to John Willis, when he was in this ultra-emotional mood. Il reckon not" replied Willis.
 "I tell you shall goI' exclaimed Bob, waxing warm.
 "Oh nO you won'tP' retorted Willis.
 "Tll bet do, cried Bob, more warm ly.

On the 24th of the month jury announced verdict of guilty of mnrdsr in the first degree. but the sentence of the judge that Willis should be hanged, was is sued without naming the day of execu- ton, vhereupon tbe case was appealed to the supreme court. The foroesrance of the people was now about exhausted. The general belief was that the murder CT would eventually be set free, or make his escape to further prey upon the com so they decided to end she matter at once. Accordingly they sur rounded the jail on the morning of August Sth at an early hour and de- msnded Willis together with the three Mexicsns-Cordobs.

M. BouSsingault, the celebrated chemist, whose death has just been announced, was remarkably successful experimenter, notably, perhaps, in such matters as related to plar.t life and the chemistry of food stufs. It was be who SO strikingly demonstrated the inf u- snce green plants exert upon the air when exposed to the action of sunlight, freeing it Vf the poisonous caTbonic acid and repleni ,h- ing it with the life giving oxygen. He a .so conclusively proved-to be remembered by those who keep plants in small, badly va hti- lated bedrooms-thAt in darkness plants be have exactly like animals-that Is. they rob the air of oxygen and charge it with cariJonic acid Amateur gardeners may take hint from one of the researches of Boussingault that went 10 prove the high value of pigeons dung as a food for plants. Mixed with water it forms rich and highly beneficial manure for all kinds of pot flowers.
